I think it has a 1.35 in it with the new alumastars. They're like two pounds lighter than the racestars, lol.
Stock suspension 60fts?

You can go really quick to the sixty with stock suspension, on pretty much any car - assuming the tire is large enough and the track is right.
The primary purpose for a suspension system is gaining consistency, which is crucial for many reasons, including getting the car to improve in a manner that allows you to run the best possible time for the given combination.
In a bracket class, for example, the cars that cut the most consistent sixty foots tend to be more successful, even if their R/T is not spot on. If you have a 13-14-15 second bracket car, then of course....suspension is not as crucial.
Our car has been 1.4's with the TVS, 82mm Pulley, deep staging...at 3780lbs. I am not so sure a stock suspension car could do that consistently.

On my last track outting, my auto car did 1.73 60ft and went 11.8 on just about every pass lol. Stock 100% suspension. I think with more power the 60ft would go down as i couldn't manage to make the car spin.. traction was flawless.
I don't doubt that one bit. If the conditions are right, it can be done.
Details on setup? M6? A6? Suspension mods? Power level?
I have a 1.5 on A6 100shot and uca only
True Idk if its worth much on an auto
82mm roush. Auto. 3.55s. Swaybar still on. I do have adjustable shocks cause one froze up. I run them 2 clicks from full soft. So just about where a stock shock would be. 295/50/15 Mickey Thompson drag radial. Stock tranny, stock converter.
I've been 1.466(On 265/40/18's) and 1.462(On 275/50/15's) bests on 100 shot(.052 jet) with 3800 stall Circle D. Consistent low 1.5's on both those tire sizes but can't seem to hook 305/45/18's for the life of me(1.71 60' best on n2o, 1.70 N/A). :shrug:
1.53 on 305/45/18 MT's with 20's on the front. Stock converter. Only suspension mod is a panhard bar to center the axle after the 10" wheels went on. The stock sway bar is still on. It's all due to the tune by VMP. Justin is the man!
I think the stalled centrifugal cars are going to out 60' the PD cars on stock suspension. A whipple plus converter doesn't play too nice with the squishy stock LCA bushings. Really had to drive my car the first few hundred feet until I started adding parts, especially near sea level.

1.5's, damn and I felt cool with my 1.7 on drag radials
It's still stock suspension, just not factory. Kinda like a stock motor with bolt-ons...it's stock suspension with bolt on's:-D
